Defending Texas from Oklahoma

 

 

On 15th November 1968, Ellington Air Force Base confirmed the tragic loss of fighter pilot George Walker Bush.

Tributes were paid to this brave Air National Guardsman who had lost his life defending Texas from Oklahoma.

Favourable references were made to his father George H.W. Bush, who at only eighteen years old had become the youngest naval aviator in US history after the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941. And now a disaster far worse than Pearl Harbour was engulfing America.

Tragically, there would be no opportunity for his son to follow in his father's steps and become a Third World War hero. And yet heroes would surely need to emerge, and soon. For the territory within his father's House of Representatives seat in the 7th District of Texas was being threatened by the Soviet forces now launching aerial assaults from Oklahoma.

An anti-war message, this tale pariodies claims that Bush avoided military service in the 1960s, 'defending Texas from Oklahoma'

 

Steve Payne, Editor Today in Alternate History, a Daily Updating Blog of Important Events In History That Never Occurred Today.

Imagine what would be, if history had occurred a bit differently. Who says it didn't, somewhere? These fictional news items explore that possibility. Possibilities such as America becoming a Marxist superpower, aliens influencing human history in the 18th century and Teddy Roosevelt winning his 3rd term as president abound in this interesting fictional blog.
